Phony E-Mail Tricks eBay

Well, isn't that special?  An eBay customer reported a suspicious email to eBay and received a response back from the company saying that it was in fact a genuine mailing.  :

Jennings reported the site to eBay on November 25, and four days later he got a note back from the company's investigations team claiming that the e-mail message was, in fact, "an official e-mail message sent to you on behalf of e-Bay."

Jennings was dumfounded. He immediately wrote back to eBay pointing out that the Web site being used was clearly fraudulent, but his e-mail went unanswered.
